Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the lzip compressed data format (.lz) able to repair slightly damaged files, recover badly damaged files from two or more copies, extract data from damaged files, decompress files, and test integrity of files. Lziprecover is able to recover or decompress files produced by any of the compressors in the lzip family; lzip, plzip, minilzip/lzlib, clzip, and pdlzip. It makes lzip files resistant to bit-flip, one of the most common forms of data corruption, and its recovery capabilities contribute to make of the lzip format one of the best options for long-term data archiving.

Clonezilla is a partition or disk cloning tool
similar to Symantec Ghost. It saves and restores
only blocks in use on the hard drive if the file
system is supported. For unsupported file systems,
dd is used instead. It has been used to clone a 5
GB system to 40 clients in about 10 minutes.

Zero Install is a decentralized cross-distribution software installation system. It allows software developers to publish programs directly from their own Web sites, while supporting features familiar from centralized distribution repositories such as shared libraries, automatic updates, and digital signatures. It is intended to complement, rather than replace, the operating system's package management. 0install packages never interfere with those provided by the distribution.

JSX serializes Java objects to XML. You can persist objects, evolve them, and send them over the network and between applications. Your object data becomes human-readable and human-writable. You can test it, search it, profile it, audit it, and edit it with ordinary text and XML tools. JSX handles all POJOs and also all classes that require Java's own object serialization. JSX also correctly and completely handles the content of Serializable classes - including when they evolve and add additional content, for both upgrading to a new version (e.g. of Java or third-party libraries) and downgrading to an older one. It does this by reusing a class's Serialization methods, which are maintained by the class's developer to handle its evolution.

ADTPro transfers disks to and from Apple II and Apple /// computers and the modern world using any of these communications methods: serial/USB, UDP via the Uthernet or LANceGS Ethernet cards, or audio via the Apple's cassette ports. ADTPro has comprehensive bootstrapping support for otherwise diskless Apple IIs. The home page includes extensive tutorials for getting started.

Star is a very fast, POSIX-compliant tar archiver, maintained for more than 30 years.
It saves many files together into a single tape or
disk archive, and can restore individual files
from the archive. It includes command line
interfaces for the "tar", "Sun-Tar", "cpio",
"pax", and "gnutar" command-line syntax. It
includes a FIFO for speed, a pattern matcher,
multi-volume support, the ability to archive
sparse files and ACLs, the ability to archive
extended file flags, automatic archive format
detection, automatic byte order recognition,
automatic archive compression/decompression,
remote archives, and special features that allow
star to be used for full and incremental backups.
It includes the only known platform independent
"rmt" server program.

smake is a highly portable 'make' program that makes commands up to date based on rules in Makefiles and on the timestamps of the related files. It implements a complete superset of the features of the classical POSIX/Unix make program. It warns about typical misuse of dynamic macros that prevent portability of makefiles. Its automake features allow you to run scripts to automatically create rules for unknown platforms.

Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses more than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution and data archiving. Lzip is a clean implementation of the LZMA algorithm. The Lzip file format is designed for long-term data archiving. It is clean, provides very safe four factor integrity checking, and is backed by the recovery capabilities of lziprecover.

Areca is a file backup system that supports data
compression (zip / zip64 format) and encryption,
incremental backups, FTP/SFTP file transfer, delta storage mode, and many other features. It
includes a transaction mechanism, which guarantees
the integrity of your backups. Two user interfaces
are available: a command-line interface (useful
for backup automation) and a graphical user
interface (useful for backup administration).
